What It Takes

Not just any video

“I don't know why you ever got surgery. I mean your so beautiful...uh what am I saying? I love you either way. Gosh what is wrong with you Dylan? You need to stop staring at her like your going to eat her”.

“Dylan, you did know that I heard everything you said”

He looked dumbfounded that I was awake during his little “talk”.

“Haha...ya! Of course I knew that....”.

“Of course you did” I said. He looked so embarrassed, it was so cute! He brought his hand up to my face and lovingly caressed my face.

“Dylan, baby, you already knew why I got the surgery done”. He sat up and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. His back was now faced towards me. After a minute he turned his head just enough to the left for me to see the side of his face. “Somehow I feel that this is all my fault. I mean you got surgery because of me, you tried to kill yourself because of me, Natalie, you almost slept with another guy because of me!” Now he was standing up. He didn't sound angry just severely pissed. I cocked my head to the side.

“I didn't get the surgery because of you. And what happened in the past with the....the suicide attempt is over. What is done is done and we cant go back in time and fix our mistakes.”

He didn't say anything just stared at the wall. I was looking intently at him until what he said really sunk in. “Slept with another guy”? I asked almost as a whisper. Finally, he turned to face me. “You almost slept with the new guy.”

“New guy?......oh gosh, he knew about Christen? “Christen”? I asked him. He shuddered at the name. “Yes” he said. Oh...he knew... “Dylan, I'm so so sorry, it was long ago and I we never went all the way...and we were really drunk”. A tear slid down my cheek. I hadn't even thought about what happened with Christen in a long time. “He wasn't that drunk” Dylan spat. “What do you mean”? I asked.

He looked at me. Almost as if he was trying to decipher whether or not I really didn't know what he was referring to. “You really don't know do you”? He asked.

“Know what”?

He sighed. “Someone from school sent me a text”. He walked over to my nightstand and grabbed his phone. He pressed some buttons before he sat down next to me and held it near my face.

It was a video. Not just any video either. Its was of me and Christen. I was taking off his shirt and kissing down his chest. He soon unzipped my clothing and before I knew it we were both naked. “Oh g-” The video didn't show me walking out of the door. Instead it stopped where I was hovering above him. This was defiantly a weak moment in my life.

Dylan put his phone away and looked me straight in the eyes. “Natalie, I love you with all my heart and I forgive you.” he said. I'm guessing it must have taken all his might in order to say it too. I leaned in to hug him, but his arms shot out and refrained me. “I need you to tell me that you did go any further”. He looked so serious that I was actually scared of him. His hands tightened on my wrists. “Dylan, your hurting me”. I said. His grip only tightened. “Answer me!” he yelled. “NO! Of course not! I would never cheat on you! Ever.” I said. He immediately dropped his hands and pulled me into a hug. “Thank you”. He said to me, but it sounded to me more like he was thanking himself. Although I loved him with everything I had he just scared the crap out of me. And....as much as I didn't want to admit it, something was wrong with Dylan.... I just don't know what.

AN: Sorry for the wait. Thanks for everyone who stuck around and waited for the update. Next time it will be longer :) promise
